Recently for the past couple of months I have been noticing that when I start firefox my system fans go mad and CPU temp rises significantly by at least 5Celcius. When I use Google plus the CPU usage reaches at least 40-60% and I assume javascript is making the system go crazy. This rarely happens in chrome though. I found this same behavior in other distros as well. Debian unstable, Gentoo, arch. I thought if I switched to some recent versions(stransky's copr packages)<http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/stransky/FirefoxGtk3/>of Firefox 29 would help but to no avail. Did anyone else notice this kind of thing on their systems? I think its specific to recent Intel core processors. my output of x86info is x86info -m x86info v1.30.

Can I manually enable it again so that system would not run hot like crazy?
